Frustration offset by the prospect of happiness
What it will be admitted is a small degree of frustration at Meath not being able to, or perhaps not wanting to gamble on giving some new blood a run out during the National Football League campaign just now drawing to a close, is offset to a very large degree by the fact that we…

Louth get another one back in game’s best current rivalry
MEATH… 2-07 LOUTH… 0-14 The first observation to make is that, no matter what how bad the conditions were on Tuesday night that the Brains Trust deemed unsuitable, there’s no way they could have been any worse than what the players had to deal with tonight. It is important to state that in no way…

An impressive tally in no-win situation
MEATH… 5-19 CARLOW… 2-09 Cathal O’Bric’s Meath U-20 footballers got the county’s quest for a third consecutive provincial final appearance with a 19 point win at Netwatch Dr Cullen Park on Wednesday night. With the greatest respect to the host county, no matter what way the evening went for the young Royals, they were on…

Giles unveils Minor men as seasonal bow postponed
It will be openly admitted that, had the Leinster MFC encounter between Meath and Louth gone ahead tonight (Tuesday) as planned, what you are currently reading would probably not exist as the workload in BTS HQ would have to have been juggled around. However, frustration and mystification at the panicked late derailment has at least…

Mixed bag for assorted Meath teams – Sideline Cuts 45
As would only be expected, the senior footballers’ annexation of promotion to Div. 1 of the NFL nabbed most of the GAA-related headlines over the weekend, but there was a mixed bag of results for various other Meath teams who were also in action then. Let’s do a whistle stop tour of their fortunes. ***…

Strong second half sees off Skryne
St Peter’s, Dunboyne 1-15 Skryne 1-11 On Friday evening, Dunboyne’s second team travelled to Fr McManus Park and came away victorious when a stirring second half put clear daylight between the sides. The eventual victors held sway by 1-05 to 1-04 at the turnaround before kicking on after the break. St Peter’s – J. McCormack;…

Dunboyne up and trotting at least!
St Peter’s, Dunboyne… 0-17Trim… 1-14 A draw was probably the fairest outcome as the home side eventually got their season off the ground with a draw having trailed for the majority of the contest. An early Trim goal gave Ken Robinson’s team an advantage they resiliently kept until well down the home straight. However, with…

A giant step on a journey still in its early stages
MEATH…2-22 OFFALY…0-18 This day seven years ago was obviously Easter Sunday. The day Meath defeated Fermanagh in Pairc Tailteann to seal a return to Div. 1 of the National Football League. The reason I know it had to be the chocolate holiday is because I was in Fairyhouse getting updates via WhatsApp as Andy McEntee…
